I'm not sure whether you visit this forum anymore since you've posted a long time ago, but personaly I've read in a blog (by an Ayurvedic doctor) that taking a slice of ginger and one tea spoon of lemon/lime juice 15-10 minutes before meal improves digestion.

The best ayurvedic for digestion is your food with timing and do not eating the food 2-3 hours before bed. And always sleep in your left side. This facility maintain your digestion.Chew your food until it is change in liquid.And drink the water with lemon in morning daily.In which water should warm.

I have found that spacing my meals far enough apart (at least 4 hours) helps my digestion, as well as doing vigorous exercise in the morning (I can pretty much digest anything after that!).
When my digestion feels sluggish I like to drink Neem powder in hot water (but wait until a couple hours after you've eaten, because it is a strong cleanser and if you have it too close to food you may get cramps). I take my Neem in the evening and by the next morning everything feels clear again. But it is not advised to use Neem regularly over the long-term.

1. Kutki, Trikatu and Chitrak. Taking a pinch of each of these herbal powders with ½ tsp honey before meals will help strengthen digestion.

2. Ginger is an extremely effective digestive herb. Drinking ginger tea or even consuming ginger pickle before a meal is a beneficial way to help kindle digestion. Before a meal take ½ tsp of chopped ginger with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lime juice.

3. Another effective digestive herb is Trikatu. This herb is equal parts of ginger, black pepper and pippali. Taking ½ tsp of this herb with a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of rock salt before meals aids digestion.

Best herbs for digestion, according to Ayurveda, are Trikatu micture of Shunthi, Marich and Pipplai all are digestive. They increase the digestive fire in the body. Other herbs like Ajmoda, Jeerak, Hing and Saindhav (Salt) are useful to improve weakend digestive fire.
